Reiki can be used to help with dreams. It can be used to help with lucid dreaming and dream recall.

Dreams and Healing

Becoming more conscious of your dreams and your dream life can assist you with your healing path. We store many unconscious habits and past emotional trauma in our mind stream. And developing the techniques of working with your dreams may help you uncover some otherwise hidden parts of your self.

Reiki is a good way to heal past emotional hurts. Here are 4 great tips for dealing with past issues and releasing them from your energy using reiki healing:

1. Recognise the habit

One of the most important factors in releasing negative emotional habits within our energy is to recognise them. If we do not develop good self awareness and self analysis we will never find the things we would like to change. We will remain ignorant to them.

One tool that aids this in reiki healing is daily sitting meditation. Sitting meditation builds mental clarity and strengthens your intuition. Two things that will help you indentify your healing needs.

It would be very interesting, as time goes on, to see more research time and research energy put into reiki. There are alot of people that have had good success with reiki. And, it would only continue to add to people’s interest in trying reiki as a compliment to mainstream interventions and solutions if there was more credible and accessible research information.

One area that I personally feel reiki helps greatly, but have found little related research, is with children. In particular kids with behavioral issues. And even more specifically kids with attention deficit disorder (ADD).

For the purpose of this post lets draw a distinction between “staying grounded” and “keeping your center”.

Lets suggest that keeping your center is about maintaining your clarity of mind, and your own unique set of values and beliefs. Keeping your “truth”. (related post: using reiki to keep your center)

Lets say on the other hand that staying grounded is to do with how we manage our energy as we move through our days and our reiki path.

# Not getting carried away 

Staying grounded is then about not getting carried away with things like syncronicity (meaningful coincidences), signs, higherself, visions, reiki guides, messages, ascension, enlightenment, those sorts of things.

Aswell as keeping a healthy connection to our daily life and its contents. The people we love, the people we meet, the work we have to do, and the world and culture within which it all exists.

This is easier said than done.. and I would be the first person to step forward and confess to periods of getting really caught up in my spiritual practise, spiritual life and spitirual values. (Not to mention all the mysterious and interesting things that can come along the path.)

Here are 9 tips for better distant reiki healing. In no particular order..

# Practise hands on reiki

I am definitely one that needs to heed this advice. I have a tendency to focus on distant healing too much.. because I love it and I have seen it work really well. (I sometimes wonder if people have different propensities towards certain styles of spiritual practice.. some drawn to prayer.. some to meditation.. that sort of thing. Because, I know I am drawn to distant healing.)

But, if you want to give better distant healing.. you should give lots of hands on healing. It is the foundation of the reiki path, and although it is the focus of the first level of reiki training, it should never be considered a level you move past, or eventually have no need for. There is no substitute in reiki practice & training to hands on healing.

# Healthy diet

I have talked about this a little before. But, the healthier your diet, the healthier your energy channels, and the easier the reiki will flow. If you think about it like this.. perhaps when you received your reiki 1 empowerment, as a result you were able to give 80% worth of your potential reiki.. the last 20% comes from healthy diet, meditation, Qi Gong exercises.. anything that will improve the overall healthiness of your Nadis (subtle energy channels, through which your ki flows).

It is also a fact that the healthier your channels and then the more easy your ki flows through them, the more clear will be your mind, and the stronger will be your willpower, greater will be your dedication to spiritual practice/healing, and your intention will be healthier too.

This is something I have been pondering for some time now. And, by the way, by “qi gong” I just mean anything that has to do with internal energy training. So, I am hoping you will not mind me considering Tai Chi and Kung Fu as forms of qi gong for the purpose of this post (if anyone has any alternative or complimentary views please email me or leave a comment).

WHAT AFFECTS YOUR REIKI?

Or what affects your ability to give reiki? I think this is at the heart of the question.. and something we have talked about a little in related posts:

reiki training tips
reiki healing, training tips
reiki training, daily meditation
reiki training, 5 tips

We need to consider this from two points of view. What affects your motivation to practise or give reiki.. and what affects the quality of the reiki you give when you do practise it or give it.

Lets look at the second point first..

WHAT AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF THE REIKI YOU GIVE

This is a topic of much hoola-bal-loo in reiki circles.. and is considered sacred ground by many people.. so I really encourage to get your emotions working and agree or disagree with me here..

What are the important things to consider when you are looking for a reiki teacher?

I have put together a bit of a list of some of the things that my wife and I have found helpful to consider, from our own and other reiki friends’ experience..

# Reiki teacher not Spiritual Guru

Perhaps the most important distinction to make when looking for a good reiki teacher is that they are not spiritual gurus. I know that there are a lot of reiki “masters” out there that think you need to behave toward them like they are.. but perhaps that is not the best sort of person to learn reiki from. (more…)

It is pretty common that when you practise reiki, whether by receiving regular treatments or by giving yourself treatments.. at some point or another you will come across clearing symptoms.

Below are 10 of the most common clearing symptoms..

#1 Going to the toilet alot

This is such a common reiki thing. I thought it was a bit hilarious when my reiki friend first mentioned that I might be needing to go to the toilet a bit during the reiki 1 workshop. But, she was right. And I have noticed also, since that time that this clearing symptom, like all the others, is not specifically connected to reiki practise, it is common to all shifts in energy or perception. For example, if I have been pondering a topic and find some clarity, inevietably I will go to the toilet soon after.

#2 Nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps

This is one that my wife has experienced alot of during her reiki travels. Again, it is not something limited to reiki practise, she has experienced it alot during other spiritual practises also. In buddhist terms clearing is usually labelled purification. And is generally thought in connection with negative causes or conditions. For example, every cause will produce a result, and perhaps there lay within your energy a cause for say your boss to get angry at you unreasonably, but because of all the good self treatments you have been giving yourself lately, that cause, rather than resulting in your boss being unreasonable, you have some nausea after some of your reiki sessions.
